C., SUNDAY, NOVEMBER 9, 1947 SECTION A PRICE TEN CENTjjf UNC Romps 41 - 6 Over N. C. State By GIL SMITH Star-News Sports Editor KENAN STADIUM, Nov. 8—North Carolina’s Tar Heels found the key to the highly publicized North Caro lina State defense here today and Walt Pupa combined with “Choo-Choo” Charlie Justice to unlock the door to the Wolfpack goalline for six touchdowns, with UNC complete ly outclassing the ’Pack 41-6 before 40,000 fans, justice flashed in his old 1946 ★ - form, ripping the State line to .shreds on the outside while Pupa was “Mr. Inside,” electrifying the crowd with a through-the-mid dl* 65 yard touchdown sprint on the first play of the game, and then using the same play to rack up long gains all afternoon. The Wolfpack’s only score came in the final stanza when Bernie Watts blocked Dick Bunt ing's kick in the end zone and Al Phillips recovered for State. Tar Heel skipper Carl Snave ly threw his entire squad into action, but the subs refused to hold the score down as the State line folded completely in the fi nal minutes of the game. Leslie Palmer, State’s great kicker, stole the show for the losers with a 49.9 average for eight punts, but even setting the Tar Heels back in their own territory failed to stop the UNC offensive from roll ing. Before the crowd had settled in the seats Justice returned State's kickoff to the UNC 35, and the cmobination of the “Choo-Choo’’ and Pupa im mediately clicked for a score. Pupa rammed through the cen ter of the State line, broke into the open and raced 65 yards to a touchdown, with Justice throw ing a beautiful block on a Wolf pack tackier on the five yard line. Cox kicked the point, and on the second play of the game, the Tar Heels led 7-0. The scrappy Wolfpack struck back through the air. After Palmer returned the kickoff to the State 28 yard line, Gwyn Fletcher hit A1 Phillips for a first down on the 44. June Cheek ! took Fletcher’s second pass for i another firstdown on the UNC! 35, and Oscar Bozeman roared ! off tackle for four yards. But, j the State offensive stalled when i Mike Rubish intercepted Fletch er’s pass on the 31.

Seven - Car Accident Kills Man And Wife STOCKTON, Calif., Nov. 8—(/P)—A man and his wife were killed, 16 persons were burned and two buses and four passenger cars were converted into molten wreckage today as dense smoke blacked out U. S. Highway 50 and caused a seven-car pileup. The dead were middle-aged Pedro Yroz and his wife, Joa quina, of Stockton. The first crash occurred at 7:35 a. m. (PST) about 10 miles south of Stockton. The Yroz car collided headon with another highway patrolmen reported, and both burst into flames.” Then came crash after crash in rapid succession. One bounc ed out of the circle of fire into a field and was not burned Traffic was snarled for more than two hours while highway patrolmen, ambulance crews and volunteers worked to put out flames, give emergency aid and clear away wreckage. Highway patrolmen said the burning of 12 piles of green asparagus tops created the smoke screen. WAGES INCREASED WASHINGTON, Nov. 8.—(IP)— The 136-day old strike of 22,000 shipyard workers in the Atlantic Coast yards of the Bethlehem company was settled early today with granting, among other things, of a 12 cents an hour wage increase. Harriman Foreign Aid Report Given Truman WASHINGTON, Nov. 8—{IP)—The Harriman commit tee report on foreign aid, released tonight is the third and final document in a series requested by President Truman to assist him in formulating final recommendations to Con gress on the Marshall Plan.1 It represents the view of private citizens, appointed by Mr. Truman, on how far the country can “wisely and safely” go in aiding Europe. The others, both government documents, were: First, Secretary of Interior Krug’s report, issued Oct. 18, weighing the impact of foreign aid on the country’s physial sources. Krug’s budky stury held that America can safely support a “considerable” program —one which then was estimated at $20,000,000,000. Second, a study by the Presi dent’s Council of Economic Ad visers headed by Edwin G. Nourse, on the economic impact. The council found the country “unquestionably” able to fi nance the plan, but urged anti inflation controls to prevent a new price spiral arising from foreign demands on scarce grain, other foods, and steel. Now the Harriman committee of 19—so called because the 20th member, Secretary of Com merce Harriman, merely pre sided and had no vote— has specified what it believes the desirable limits and safeguards on a foreign aid program. It used the Krug and Nourse re ports in its studies. The . next step will be the ap pearance of Secretary of State Marshall, before a joint session of the Senate Foreign Relations and House Foreign Affairs com mittees Monday. Marshall’s testimon ywill shed light on the State Department’s thinking. From all these sources, Mr. Truman will take data to prepare his own mes sage giving the final White House recommendations for leg islation on the Marshall plan, to b e delivered either at the special session starting Nov. 17 or the regular session opening Jan. 3.

Psychic News Discloses Long Secret Report About Miracles Of Jesus Christ LONDON, Nov. 8.—W—'The Psychic News, spiritualist jour nal, said tonight Church of Eng land investigators had declared in a report suppressed for nine years that “there are quite clear parallels” between Jesus’ mira cles and “modern phenomena at tested by spiritualists.” The magazine published what it said were conclusions of a seven-member majority of a church-established investigating committee of churchmen, scien tists and laymen. It did not pub lish evidence in support of these conclusions nor any of the minority report. The editor, A. W. Austen, said the report was prepared in 1938 but was suppressed by the house of bishops of the church “large ly at the instigation” of Dr. Wil liam Temple, late archbishop of Canterbury. The dean of St. Paul’s, the Very Rev. Walter Robert Mat thews, who said he was on the committee, declared today he was sorry the report “was not published when submitted.” He said he thought the reason it had been withheld was that the investigators had disagreed on conclusions and Archbishop Tem ple felt “controversy should be avoided.” I The Psychic News quoted th< majority report as saying that if spirit manifestations through me diums “must be doubted because they have not yet proved capa ble of scientific statement and verifications, we must add that the miracles and the resurrection itself are not capable of such verification either.” “Certain outstanding psychic experiences of individuals, in cluding certain experiences with mediums, mate a strong prima facia case of survival (of indi vidual spirits) and for the pos sibility of spirit communications, while philosophical, ethical and religious considerations may be held to weigh heavily on the same side,” the magazine quoted the report. ___ PUBLISHER’S ANNOUNCEMENT Due to the continued increase in labor costs, newsprint, inks, distribution; in fact, all supplies and services that go into the manufacturing and maintenance of a newspaper being now beyond the control of Newspaper Management, it is necessary that the FOLLOWING CIRCULATION RATES for CARRIER DELIVERED CIRCULATION in Wil mington and Southeastern North Carolina be made EFFEC TIVE DECEMBER 1, 1947, payable weekly or in advance: Time Star News Combi nation 1 Week.35 ...... .30 .60 1 Month .... 1.50 . 1.30 2.40 3 Months .... 4.50 . 3.90 7.20 6 Months .... 9.00 . 7.80 14.40 1 Year. 18.00 . 15.60 28.80 Above rates entitle subscriber to the Sunday Star-News. R. B. PAGE. PUBLISHER “When every possible expla nation of these communications has been given and all doubtful evidence set aside x x x, we think it is probable that the hypothesis that they proceed in some cases from discarnate spirits is the true > » one. The report warned, however, against “easy credulity which opens the door to self deception and to a very great amount of fraud.” “It is, in our opinion, impor tant that representatives of the church should keep in touch with groups of intelligent persons who believe in spiritualism,” the re port was quoted as saying. Austen said committeemen who signed the majority report were the late Bishop Francis Un derhill of Bath and Wells; Canon Harold Anson, master of the temple; Canon Laurence Wil liam Grensted, Oxford univer sity professor of the Christian religion; Dr. William Brown, London psychologist; P. E. Sand lands, . London lawyer; Lady Gwendolyn Stephenson, and Matthews. Austen said the report was circulated privately only to the 24 bishops and two archbishops. He did not say how he obtained a copy. ihe National education As sociation, which released the Presidential statement, said that programs arranged in the schools this coming week are expected to attract more than 10,00,000 visitors. The next of Mr. Truman’s statement: “The schools are yours,’’ the theme selected for the twenty seventh observance of American Education week, is a proud re minder that our forefathers saw that our schools would help children develop their potential ities for democratic living. To this end, they established free schools for a free people. “I would point out that the creative ideals of democracy must be taught in order to be learned. The vitality of our re public depends on the effective ness of such teaching Today American education is in the grips of a grave crisis. Our schools are compelled to offer education of inferior quali ty. Educationally, many millions of our children are underprivi leged. “We must act to correct con ditions which sap our national strength and waste our human resources. We must prepare our young people to understand and prserve their priceless inherit ance of freedom. We must give them the proper climate for de veloping intellectual competence and personal responsibility. “I therefore urge all Ameri cans to rededicate themselves to the program of providing their children with a sound education. American Education week, beginning November ninth, offers citizens the opportunity to meet together in the schools, to become acquainted with school needs. In so doing, they will take counsel in the very citadels of democracy.” HEALTH MEET PLANNED CHARLOTTE, Nov. 8.—</P)—A state-wide health education con ference sponsored by the North Carolina Hospital association and open to all organizations and in dividuals interested in health and welfare work will be con ducted here next Wednesday and Thursday, Nov. 12 and IS.
